COURSE TOPICS
1. Why Should You Perhaps Choose a Female?
This topic covers the advantages of choosing a female dog
2. Female Dog Management
Before you even think about arranging to collect your female puppy from the breeder you must get ready and make all the arrangements to welcome her to your home and into your lives
3. Feeding and Nourishment
This topic promotes the growth, sustains health and allow for successful breeding, it goes without saying that as it is for humans, correct feeding for dogs is crucial
4. Educating Your Female Puppy
Your puppy will soon discover that she has so much information to absorb about her new life with her new human pack
5. Planning Ahead for Breeding
You have to plan ahead to breed from your pet. So many people do not. And if you don't, you may find trouble and heartache ahead, not to mention all the time and money you may end up spending in error
6. Pregnancy and Whelping
This topic covers the pregnancy, so 20 to 30 days into the pregnancy, and following the mating, it may be possible, just for a few days, for the vet to feel the very tiny marble-size foetuses in the female's uterus
7. Care of the Newly Whelped Female
Your female has a rather stressful few weeks ahead of her until her puppies gain some independence and the pressure on her decreases
8. Anatomy and Physiology
This topic covers the signs and frequency of heat in females
9. Medical Problems Specific to Females
It is imperative to identify any illness effectively and efficiently. Not only will any early identification and early action be much more effective, but also equally as important to prevent your family pet from unnecessary pain
10. Anatomy and Physiology
This topic will finally cover things like first aid and what to do in emergencies
